BEER-COOLER.

To all w71 om A2' t may concern.'

Be it known that I, FERDINAND TUREx, citizen of the United States,residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Beer-Coolers, of whichthe following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to beer coolersor similar devices in which theliquid to be cooled is passed through a coil located in therefrigerating chamber, and the objectl of the invention is to provideimproved means for supporting the ice in position with respect to thecoils, by means of a tray mounted on a support inthe upper part of thechamber, above the coils, which are cooled kby the air circulation aswell as by the meltage from the ice.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings in which- Figure l is a vertical sectional view of therefrigerating chamber and coils, and the ice Fig. 2 is a top view of therefrigerating chamber or box. Fig. 3 is a detail in perspective of asupporting member, and F ig. l is a detail in perspective o-f the legson which said member is mounted.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 5 indicates an inclosing casingor box containing the coils 14 and 15 arranged vertically therein'.Inlets 14a and lelb and outlets 14 and 14d may be for seltzer or otherliquid, and inlets a and 15b and outlets I' l5C and 15d for beer, thecoils being preferably arranged one within the other, that is toV saythe coils 14 are arranged within the coils 15, with inlets at the bottomthrough the bottom of the box and outlets at the top. The two sets ofcoils are spaced apart far enough to receive therebetween the legs 6which are connected at the top by a frame 8. These legs support thebrackets 9, fixed Y thereto by riveting or otherwise, and on thebrackets are mounted a cross shaped plate 7 having at the center anipple 12 which receives the standard 11 on the upper end of which ismounted a perforated tray l0, at standard being fixed atadjustment by aset Specification of Letters Patent.

screw 13 whereby the tray can be raised or lowered to hold more or lessice. The legs and the tray supported thereby can be lifted out of thebox through the opening in the top thereof, which opening may be closedwhen desired, in any suitable manner. The cracked ice is placed in thetray 10, and as it melts the water falls onto the coils below therebycooling the saine and cooling the air within the box. The frame 8, whichconnects the legs 6 at the top, also serves the purpose of preventingany of the cracked ice from being scattered down the sides of the casingas the ice is placed on the tra-y l0. 1G indicates an overllow pipe.

The interior of the box can be readily cleaned by lifting out the trayand its sup` ports, permitting water to be flushed over the coils andthrough the box, which will be provided with a suitable outlet forwaste, as shown at 16a.

Ther device will be found very convenient for use in bars and otherplaces where liquids are dispensed and the removable lice supportJ ismuch more convenient and sanitary than fixed ice chambers or holders.

lV hat I claim is new is:

l. A cooler for liquids, comprising a box, a pipe coil therein, and anice support comprising legs standing beside the coil, a frame connectingthe upper ends of the legs, a plate supported between said legs, and aperforated tray supported by the plate above the coil and below theframe, the tray being adjustable up and downto vary its position in thebox.

2. A cooler for liquids, comprising a box, inner and outer sets of pipecoils therein, legs standing between the sets of coils and removabletherefrom, a plate supported by the legs, and a perforated traysupported by the plate above the inner coil and removable with the legsthrough the top of the box.

In testimony whereof, do afiix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
